We used to have a Pasta House in Cape Girardeau but it closed down. Now there doesn't seem to be an affordable Italian restaurant with good food in the city. So once or twice a year we drive an hour and a half to a Pasta House. I don't do that for any other restaurant. Everything tastes wonderful! read more

On Eclipse day we parked here and sat outside to use a patio table to have late lunch and watch the event. It was clear when we arrived that the restaurant had not expected eclipse audience dining but the staff immediately seated us outside! We ordered drinks first and our waiter hustled to get them out to us. I ordered a chicken Caesar salad as did my dear friend. Our guests ordered a pasta House salad and a pizza. The food was excellent and the service was just as good. We enjoyed our time on the patio with 3 other couples. I enjoyed this impromptu meal as well as any lunch I had prearranged. It's a great chain restaurant with an excellent staff. read more

Food is very good and the waiter was very nice we got a kids 10-in pizza a big plate of spaghetti and a kid spaghetti recommend going here. read more

Enjoy coming here to dine! Always greeted nicely, seated fast & it's a comfy environment where you can actually have a conversation! We tend to always get the same thing because IT'S SO GOOD! Meatball parmigiana, salad & pasta with red sauce. All employees are polite & well mannered and I have to do a special call out to Jim & Rosemary. We always look forward to seeing them. read more

So about 2 weeks ago went in for pizza and salad the pizza was amazing. Ordered again tonight just picked up and took home spent 100.00 on 2-16 inch pizzas a deluxe and sausage mushroom and onion and 2 large salads. Deluxe is like charred burnt. Sooooo disappointed. I work hard for my money and this is my 1 meal out so sad!! And tipped beforehand without seeing the food. That should not be allowed. read more

Awful. It took forever for the to-go order. I ordered 3 rolls, I got 1. I ordered artichoke salad, no artichokes. And to make things worse... a HAIR in my cheese bread. I'll never order again.. I understand restaurants get busy but my order was completely wrong and a hair in the food? That's ridiculous and not the image I pictured when thinking of Pasta House.... read more

To-go orders are consistently bad. The salads are soaked in dressing and get turned to mush by the time you open it back up. The chicken parm is just a cheap thin looking slice of chicken that tastes like it has been microwaved. The red sauce is bland and tastes like sugar? They don't season their broccoli and it is always flavorless and VERY wet (like dripping wet). I'm not usually this harsh with reviews, but don't order to-go from here. All in all, very bland food. Questionable quality. Prices a little too high. read more

Always clean inside, service is always on top along with the food being served quick & hot!

A shout out to the GM Bobby and his staff. With only 24 hours notice they were able to accommodate a birthday party for 25 people, originally scheduled at the Arnold location which was hit by the tornado. Bobby went above and beyond and the party was perfect. Thank you to all of the staff who helped with making my mother in-law's 80th birthday a great time! I will be visiting this location again!! read more

We ate with family, table for 14, on New Years Day. Great service as usual. I recommend my favorite, Flamingo Chicken. I always order from the Lunch Menu, generous portion and reasonable prices. read more

Delicious food. Good service. We have never been disappointed with the food here. It is a nice place to meet with family & friends.

Great place to eat in or carry out! I generally get carry outs. Large selection of many different types of pastas and entrees. Almost everyone should be able to find their favorite style of pasta here! Lasagna, white sauce, red sauce, vegetarian, etc etc etc! I generally get the rigatoni roma, which comes with meat sauce, fresh mushrooms, peas and prosciutto topped with a cream sauce. Pasta con broccoli and pizza are also tasty! I think their salads pair well with the pasta, but it is disappointing that salads don't come with pasta dishes. That is probably my only complaint. This is a smaller location that is generally very crowded at peak times. There is a dining and bar area. The pick up counter is right at the front door. It gets a bit overcrowded inside and in the parking lot during peak times, but this is a good problem to have! When you are in the mood for pasta and a casual dining experience or maybe a mivie night and carry outs Pasta House has a great selection of pasta, pizza and salads! read more

It's a pretty good place and pretty underrated in my opinion the food is actually good compared to other fast food places

Love this place! I get the same thing every time, never fails. I haven't had one problem with their service as well.

Excellent customer service, great food, good atmosphere. Pasta House was on top of their game! My company hosted an event in the meeting room at this location. Hailey (hope I spelled it right) was our waitress and she was amazing, we were there from 12-9:30 and Hailey probably waited on over 30 customers throughout the evening. She did a great job! As well as all the other staff that helped. Once again I had the Bacon Burger, no bun, with Gorgonzola and sautéed onions. This is one of the best burgers I've ever had. Pasta House makes a great burger, I know it sounds kinda crazy but it's true. If you visit Pasta House, try the burger! I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Also, I heard the ice cream there is amazing. I could not have any due to dietary restrictions but everyone else that tried it said it was awesome!!! I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I had issues long before the pandemic struck. The servers are great, the staff for the most part are great. Management needs better stress coping skills I think. Yes, I know full well how hard it is to manage a restaurant, I did it at a fine dining establishment as the Executive Chef. My issues are with there response of management. If you're "in house" they'll try to accommodate you, sure. But, the issues come up when you order take out or delivery. Mine have always been with take out. One big one before pandemic one after. 1. March 2020 we order food to go, follow all instructions for pickup and we're told after waiting 25 minutes past our it's done pickup time that they're sorry, they forgot it, they'll get it right out... Sigh, okay... I just spent $50 for two adults but I'll wait. So we get it home, halfway through the meal my husband spits out a chunk of his meatball and says what is that crap?!? It's a big chunk of plastic bag, which I have pics of and so I call them and the manger (male) sputters and acts understanding and asks me to email him. Mind you, I'm not enraged, rude, berating I get it accidents happen. I'm just grateful my husband didn't choke on a three inch piece of plastic bag. So he promises us a refund, follow up yada yada... Guess what we didn't get? That's right, a refund or follow up. 2. Late April 2020 during pandemic, we ordered on the phone, very sweet girl took the $90 + order, I paid and tipped over the phone she repeated to the order details back to me twice and said give us half an hour then pull up outside, we'll come out and get your info and bring your food. So hubby pulls up around 5 middle of the week, no one else is there for a pickup, he sits, and sits, and sits in the spots they told him to pull up in with the signage. Then an older male pulls up (obviously an employee) walks right by him and still, no one comes out calling wasn't working, they weren't answering. So, he finally sees a young girl, waves and she comes out, they bring out the food which by this time is not warm, but whatever. So he gets it the 5 miles to our house and guess what? It's missing a $20 entree, the salad is wilted all to heaven and looks more like soup versus salad since it's swimming in dressing, my sandwich is soggy, as in like you dipped it in water soggy. Not worth that money is it? Okay so I call and the nice girl listens to about 5 seconds of my call, interrupted me and said hang on. 11 minutes later the male manger gets back on, I tell him they forgot my entree, he's talking to someone else while "listening" to me. I ask him if we can get the rest of our food delivered, he said for one entree? I said no, if you'd been praying attention you'd have heard that now than half the food I ordered was either missing or inedible. He then says, well no I'm just going to refund you since I've got 100 meals going to the hospital later tonight... Guess who never got refunded... AGAIN! IT'S BEEN OVER A WEEK! Okay, I get it, you want to take care of our medical heroes, but aren't we important to your business too? You've treated me poorly in the past, you've nearly caused my husband to injest plastic and now you're going to not pay attention to me when I call you with a concern on a non busy day at a non busy time with a genuine concern that is exactly what your job description literally says you're to address and rectify? Well, that was the last straw #festusmo #pastahouse I'll take my business too the Olive Garden in South County, or the Pasta House there since they seem to care. read more

I went to the Pasta House today in Festus. We decided to meet there for my cousins birthday. We are from Arnold and they are from Perryville. I told them my cousin was handicapped and they let her come in the back door and we were seated in the back. They made it easy for her. They took good care of the table. The food was delicious. read more

The food was fantastic. Our server was wonderful. Price was great. Bathroom clean. Wonderful visit. Thank you

Pasta tasted old. Come to find out, they only cook pasta once a week, then reheat it. The pasta con broccoli,gross!! The broccoli was mushy.Service was slow. The atmosphere wasn't what I expected. It was boring to look at the things on the wall, while we waited almost 30 minutes after we ordered. And it was not busy. Had to go to the kitchen door to find our waitress to get refills. read more

Nice place, usually a little busy for lunch and dinner... go during off times for a better experience, the restaurant does get loud when busy read more

Good food and portions at a fair price. The room was very cold. When we asked, they did turn it off for awhile.

Food is fine. Managers have been responsive when things didn't go well. Service has been hit or miss. The place bets big on Provel cheese. If you have a provel aversion like I do, it's hard to find something on the menu. We've taken this one out of our rotation and instead head to The Hill when we're in the mood for Italian and it's been worth the trip every time! read more

Too expensive for what you receive. Ordered alfredo with shrimp and was very disappointed...it was way over seasoned with over cooked shrimp. The appetizers are frankly just pathetic in size for the price. read more

Great lunch specials and pasta. Nice drink specials. Friendly staff, manager checking to see how meal is going.

I ordered food from festus pasta house and the meat balls were pink in the middle. Raw like called to tell them and he says its because of the sauce and seasoning and said it was fine. I called arnold to see if their meatballs turn out like that and their meatballs dont turn out like that. read more

Cannot count on service at this location. 50/50 shot at best... will you get good service and your order in a timely fashion or be left sitting by inexperienced waitstaff. So what happened Pasta House management? read more

This place has great wings!!! The meatballs are amazing and i love the Greek salad! My husband likes the pizza. Everything has been consistently good. I just refuse to go on Thursday nights. I unknowingly sat at a high top in the bar on Thursday just as the karaoke guy was setting up. that was a TERRIBLE idea! The speaker were so close and mind numbing loud. In my opinion the restaurant is to small for that. I will be back just NOT on Thursday nights. read more

Called asked if they had seating , the lady that answered the phone asked how many in your party - I respond with 8 , she then says yes I have a table available for you if you get here within 5 min I will hold it for you ! We were there in 2 mins and she then proceeded to tell me that a party walked in and she couldn't hold the table . Bad management! On top of it she was rude to us for her mistake ! Will not eat there will not recommend it ! read more

Yum! Festus Mo Pasta house is the best one. The one in arnold and South county sucks, but Festus pasta house cares and throws down. The pasta in so creamy, moist, flavorful and soupy here, not all dry and without sauce like the arnold and south county ones prepare. and they know how to prepare a salad too. I have had bad luck with some pasta houses, but Festus will continue to get our business if they continue the good service they've had for years. Seems the cook really cares. read more

We visited Pasta House last night with a very large group. Over 30 of us. Our waiter, Nick, was truly one of the best waiters I have ever had at any restaurant. He was very attentive, got all of our orders correct, and was always letting us know that if we needed anything to let him know and he would get it for us. And with the size of our group, there were plenty of requests lol. He never missed a beat. This guy deserves a promotion for sure. I honestly cannot say enough about his friendliness and top notch service! Way to go Nick. Thank you for the fantastic service you provided to our family! Hands down A+++ read more

What a difference between Pasta House Festus and Arnold! I am not sure if I would come back to this location. I ordered curbside tonight and when I arrived for pickup 1 waitress had a mask on and one did not. I, of course, got the one who did not and who also came right up to my door to ask my name for the pickup. I then waited another 10 minutes for her to bring the food out, still no mask. I asked if their were rolls in the bag since it looked like there were only the 2 meals. After appearing a bit put out, she stated people ask for rolls if they want them. I did not realize for curbside pickup this was needed. Now for the difference. At Arnold all servers are wearing masks and gloves, they will put your meal in the backseat or trunk (not force it through the driver's window), they include bread and even put the butter in a separate bag so it doesn't melt. Oh, and they also include utensils and napkins; I received none tonight. I have also included a picture of the supposed full size dinner order of tortellini. Arnold at least fills it to the top. You can't blame it on it being busy as there were only 3 other cars at the time picking up. Definitely would not recommend if you are at all worried about Covid 19. read more

We had dinner here tonight. Just saw a sign on hwy 55 and decided to get off at the exit. Parking lot was full (it was a Friday night) we were seated promptly and our server Nick was awesome. He was Very attentive and our food came out quickly and it was delicious! Very happy and we will return! read more

We had a large group, Nick was our waiter. He was absolutely amazing, made us feel welcome, all of our orders were correct and drinks never went empty and he had a very positive attitude, he says he loves what he does and it definitely shows in the way he takes care of his guest!! When we return we will be asking for him to be our server again! And thank you to pasta house for makeing Accommodations for such a large group! read more

The restaurant was good and clean. Food came fast, and they respected our reservations. Only complaint is they have a door labeled emergency exit only open and alarm will sound. The only problem is the alarm didn't sound when 4 people opened it. So that is why they lost a star. read more

The Pasta House - Yummy in my tummy - Italian Near Me - Festus, Missouri

We decided to check out the Festus pasta house last night. We have been to the south county location before. I wasn't impressed that time, but my other half liked it. Of course, he was thrilled we were going. His excitement was short lived. When we arrived, we found a packed parking lot, and thought it was odd, considering it was 9:00. When we walked on, we found a large bar area in the front of building. Game 5 of the blues/wild playoff series was on. Now, I enjoy a good, rowdy, sports loving crowd, but not next to my dinner table. I had my 6 year old with me, and the profanity was a bit out of control. As for the meals, I had chicken parm, my husband had lasagna, and chicken fingers with fries for the kiddo. The chicken was fine, nothing to write home about. The chicken fingers were dry and a little burnt. The lasagna though, was awful. The first time it came out, it was cold in the center with microwave burnt cheese covering one side. We sent it back, and the second time it was melt your face off scalding. Barb was our server, and she was very pleasant and attentive through the ordeal. A manager came over, apologized, and comped the lasagna. Unfortunately, the damage had been done and I went home with a crabby, hungry husband. It's a same, we had high hopes. There aren't many quality dining establishments in the area, and now pasta house makes the list of places we won't be returning to. read more

This place is always busy, but out in Festus there isn't much to choose from. I know your thinking Festus, Mary you live in Kirkwood. Well, I work there. I went after work last Thursday night with a few girls form work. It is always my go to for lasagna and there famous salad. Every one front the manager to the hostess made sure we had our drinks filled and that our food was good. Our server was nice and brought out the book of all the calories because all 3 of us are ready to get rid of our winter weight. I know not the best place to pick, but again we where in Festus. All in all I would go back! read more
